gaps in people_vaccinated and people_fully_vaccinated

[czka]

I realize that some gaps in people_vaccinated and people_fully_vaccinated are inevitable due to varying quality of data sources, but some make me wonder if that's always really the culprit.

Eg. Luxembourg is missing nearly 8 months of people_fully_vaccinated data, Singapore and Iceland who I suppose should have decent repoting standards have some gaps in both people_vaccinated and people_fully_vaccinated, Andorra and San Marino have more gaps than data there, Croatia has a strange 4-weeks gap in people_fully_vaccinated, Brazil has got a 2-week gap in both data series recently, etc.

Below are listed all such gaps I spotted, rounded down to a weekly resolution. Could you verify if really neither of these could be due to OWID's processing rather than any other issues?

Hi @czka

For many countries, some information is not available due to:

• The source not reporting this metric at all
• Or the source reporting the data in a way that makes it impossible to calculate one of the metrics. This is often the cases when a 1-dose vaccine (such as J&J) is used in conjunction with 2-dose vaccines, but the source doesn't report detailed data on doses by manufacturer.

What you see in our database at the moment is the best information at our disposal, for all of these countries (if we had more, we would happily publish it). If you happen to find more data for one or more of these countries, please feel free to open a new issue or pull request with the new data.

Hi @edomt

Thanks. BTW, do you maybe know why Luxembourg doesn't have any record in people_fully_vaccinated between 2021-04-14 and 2021-11-06 but has a single 1 record of 418437 on 2021-11-07 in that column? As per #1963 shouldn't it have no data after April in that column at all?

Hi @czka

Yes, that's because the open-data file published by Luxembourg doesn't let us calculate people_fully_vaccinated, so we sometimes pull the latest figure from the daily PDF reports so that the variable is not empty. This is mainly to make sure that Google doesn't display a very old value for people_fully_vaccinated in its search results (which are directly connected to our files).
